position to (irshnm as a friend of Wol
cott. Dr. J. M. Wilkinson is spoken of.
Little Creek hundred, Kent county,
according to a system of rotation that
prevails in that county, is entitled to the
nomination for sheriff of the county.
The candidates from the hundred are J.
Thomas Lowe, tho Little Creek mer
chant, and John AV. Fenimore, the Leip
sic ship owner. Lowe is a strong
Sanlsbury man, while Fenimore is of the
Wolcott order. There is one thing that
stands in the way of Mr. Fenimore, and
flint is the candidacy of David S. Wild»,
f Kenton hundred. Wilds has don* yeo
man service for the Wolcott cause in past
campaigns and lias never received, ns he
thinks, tho proper reward, and this year
he asks the support of Wolcott's friends,
and lie will in all probability receive it.
The result of the meeting of the execu
tive committee on Saturday is as much ft
gain to (he cause of Mr. Lowe as it was
to the Saulsburys.
